He signed the defence bill. Wait and see what happens now. It won't be anytime soon.

Some required actions, such as training and equipping armorers; inspecting, repairing and grading pistols; and obtaining an FFL by the CMP, will take some time and will impact the date of sales to the public. Other actions, such as the transfer of the pistols to the CMP can happen almost immediately upon the effective date of the authorization bill.

Bottom line: It is going to happen, but we all need to exercise some patience.

Don't get your hopes up just yet...its been said many times before by the CMP that they would not get into the business of selling 1911s.

Yes, that is why CMP publishes updates on the status of the bill on its website and Facebook, because they don't want to sell them.

Legislation says MAY be transferred not must. Secretary is an Executive appointment so many administration might not authorize the transfer.

Sure hope they do. I would love to get an original 1911. Been in the military 37 years and have good memories of them.

They said that because at the time the law that established the CMP did not permit sale if 1911s. The recently signed Defense Authorization Bill changes that.
